Step

Setting
up
the
system
for
CD
playback
In
order
to
play
audio
CDs
on
your
drive,
you
must
enable
digital
playback.
Digital
playback
uses
the
IDE
data
cable
to
send
audio
data
from
the
drive
to
your
computer
instead
of
using
an
analog
audio
cable.
This
usually
results
in
better
playback
quality,
at
the
cost
of
your
computer
working
a
little
harder
to
convert
the
digital
data
to
analog
audio.
There
are
two
parts
to
setting
up
to
listen
to
CD
audio,
configuring
the
drive
and
configuring
the
playback
application.
Configuring
the
drive
for
digital
playback
If
you
have
Windows
XP,
your
drive
should
be
automatically
configured
for
digital
playback.
If
you
have
Windows
2000
or
Windows
Me,
you
will
need
to
configure
your
system
to
use
digital
playback.
Please
refer
to
the
instructions
in
“Enabling
digital
audio
extraction”
on
page
C-2
for
step-by-step
procedure
on
how
to
enable
digital
extraction.
Configuring
the
playback
application
for
digital
playback
Your
CD
playback
application
must
also
be
configured
for
digital
playback
for
CD
audio
to
be
heard
on
your
system.
If
you
want
to
use
Windows
Media
Player
as
your
playback
application,
follow
the
instructions
in
“Enabling
digital
audio
extraction”
on
page
C-2
to
enable
this
feature
in
Windows
Media
Player.
If
you
have
a
third-party
CD
player
application,
refer
to
that
application’s
documentation
for
details.
